Description of the model:
Reconstructed by Susanne Klein.
It was casted using high quality epoxy resin, coloured as well with florescent colours
The tentacles are transparent and their tips are coloured with florscent colour. The colour looks different during daylight and (ultraviolet) black light. This florescent effect of the colour shows a natural appearance of some recent corals, which offers special effects in your exhibition. Who knows, if prehistoric corals weren’t as spectacular as today’s corals even by night. The skeleton can be delivered in different length. Please ask us, if you would prefer different length for different individuals.

Further Informations
Further information
Cystiphyllum, extinct genus of solitary corals found as fossils in Silurian and Devonian marine rocks (the Silurian Period preceded the Devonian Period and ended 416 million years ago). Cystiphyllum was one of the horn corals, so named for their hornlike shape. Like other corals, it had specialized requirements, and thus its fossils are important environmental indicators.
